• Excel - The software displays the report in Microsoft Excel, providing you have a copy of
Microsoft Excel already installed.
• XML - The software displays the report in the XML format.
The management server also provides some reports with pie charts. If the report is available as a
pie chart, the icon appears next to the report name.
The software provides reports for the following:
• Global - These reports provide data gathered from multiple management servers. For example, if
you have three management servers: one in London, one in Tokyo, and one in New York City,
you can gather data from all three management servers. To view information for these reports,
you must set up global reporting. To learn more, see ”Setting Up Global Reporter” on page 209
for more information.
• Asset Management - These reports provide information regarding assets and ownership.
• Chargeback Manager - These reports provide cost information about the management and
storage usage of an element. To populate these reports, enter information for Chargeback
Manager, as described in the topic, ”Setting Up Chargeback Manager” on page 638.
• System - These reports are enterprise-wide. They collect information about the following:
• Application - Data about applications the management server monitors, such as reports on
application utilization and dependencies
• Events - Data about events occurring on the elements the management server monitors, such
as summary reports on events
• Fabric - Data about fabrics, such as SAN components not zoned and world wide names that
appear in zones but not in SANs
• File Server - Data about the file servers the management server monitors, such as reports on
groups and users, by server. This information is provided only if you have purchased the
license for File System Viewer.
• HBA - A summary report on the host bus adapters (HBAs) the management server detects
• Host - Data about the hosts the management server monitors, such as reports on host storage
allocation and total host utilization. The management server treats host clusters as managed
elements, and the capacity calculator intelligently avoids double counting of the capacity
from individual nodes at the cluster level.
• NAS - Data about NAS storage devices, such as reports on volume and aggregate usage.
• Performance - Historical performance data for devices, such as reports on I/O performance.
• Storage System - Data about the management server monitors, such as reports on storage
system capacity and storage system utilization.
• Switch - Data about switches the management server monitors, such as reports on switch port
traffic and port utilization by connection type. ISL Trunking information is also available for
supported Brocade switches in related reports that include SAN Components Not Zoned,
Individual Switch Report, Switch Port I/O Performance, Port Utilization by Connection Type,
and Switch Port Traffic.
